Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for problems extending from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
